Crack Filling & Sealing for Asphalt Surfaces in Columbus

Kurguz Paving has been performing asphalt crack sealing for more than 30 years in the Columbus area. We begin the process with a thorough inspection of the entire parking lot surface. We’ll identify and mark areas where repair is recommended and calculate the estimated cost. In general pavement cracks between 1/4-inch and 1-inch wide are good candidates for repair. Different types of cracks require different sealing procedures, but they all start with a thorough cleaning.

Types of Damage

The following is an overview of the six most common types of cracks we encounter in Ohio:

Fatigue – Also known as alligator cracks, these are caused by repetitive compressive stress. In some cases, it’s better to remove and refill such areas rather than try to fill the gaps.

Joint – When two different sections are paved but do not bond properly, this type of unwanted gap can occur.

Slippage – These are often created by vehicles regularly slowing down and turning at a particular point. This causes fractures, sometimes crescent shaped, that are the result of a bond failure between layers.

Reflective – Fractures from the base or subbase can be reflected onto a parking lot’s surface, breaking open the top of the pavement.

Block – One reason behind this type of damage is erratic traffic patterns that don’t evenly wear the pavement. The same symptoms can stem from a bad asphalt mix or numerous amount of air voids.

Edge – Frost, poor drainage and base issues can all create this type of crack growth that are offset from the nearest edge.
